MINING.

That mining operations were carried
out in England by the Romans during
their occupation there is abundance OF
evidence, but nothing in this direction
has equaled the discoveries recently
made in connection with the st. Domingo
mines of Spain, says a London paper.
These were worked by the Romans in
what may be termed a scientific manner
considering their appliances. for in some
of them they actually excavated galleries
for draining purposes nearly three miles
in length, whilst in others the water
was raised by means of wheels carrying
it over rocks. Eight of these have re.
Gently been found by the miners who
are employed in contiguous workings in
these old mines and all in a high state
of preservation. They are made of
wood, the wheels and axles, where the
greatest strain would be, being of oak
and the other parts of pine. 1t is esti-
mated that the wheels are at least 800
years old, although the wood is in a
state Of perfect preservation, owing to
the water being charged with metallic
salts, including those of copper and
iron. 1t would appear that the wheels
must have been worked by men on the
tread.mill principle by standing upon n
side of it, the water being raised by n
wheel into a large basin, and then lifted
another stage by a second one, and then
in the same way by the Others. Not the
least interesting matter in connection
with the discovery is the state in which
the wood was found. When wood is
placed in water, or near it, the decay is
rather rapid, but there are means by
which it can be kept for ages in a good
state of preservation, as shown in the
case Of the st. Domingo mines. Some
metallic refuse is found even now eff.
ficient for the purpose. Kyanising has
long been in use for preventing fermenta-
tion and decay-which is done by steep
ing the timber in q corrosive sublimate,
the perchloride of mercury. Creosote
has also been found an excellent preserv-
alive of timber subjected to the action Of
water. 1t may also be said that whilst
the Romans knew how to preserve tim
Der underground, the Greeks also knew
how to keep it in a good state in their
buildings. This they did by charring
the timber before placing it in position,
80 that we are told "the beams OF the
theater at Herculaneum were converted
into charcoal by the burning lava which
o~verdowed the city, and after a lapse of
more than 1900 years were found as en-.
tire as if they had been formed but yes.
~terday." The same property was known
even before this, as the famous Temple
of Ephesus was built on piles charred to
prevent them from decay. The history
of the ~past-even in mining it appears
after a lapse Of 1000 years-may be of
advantage to the miners of the present
age.

THE SECOND TERM QUESTION.
A Confirmation OF the Conversation BE

ST. LOUIS, April 24.-The Republicans
Washington correspondent, again referring
to the Presidential denomination matter,
gives the following: A story has come to the
correspondent of the Republican tonight
significantly con6rmatory of the converse
tion between the President and the senate
rial visitor. This story is to the effect that
the President had quite recently prepared
a formal letter to be made public, setting
forth his views in regard to second term
in plain, distinct wOrus and unqualifedly
declaring that he would not be candidate
for reelection. Yielding TO the earnest
pursuasions of his friends he consented,
however, to withhold the letter for the
present at least, If not to wholly abandon
his intention CT giving it to the public.
This story is told on the authority OF
Colonel Dorsheimer, of New York, who was
in Washington a few days ago. he told
several OF his friends while here, i'm
mediately after coming from the White
House, that he had been shown the draft
of letter such as has been already charac-
terized, and his advice was asked regarding
the policy of such publication. He said
the letter referred at some length to the
opposition of a certain element of the
Democratic party to the reelection of
Cleveland and the chance that this might
defeat the ticket. After referring to this
well known factor in the existing poiitical
situation, Colonel Dorsheimer says the
President went on in his letterto say that he
deemed it wise, in view of these circ1m-
stances, to withdraw his name from all
consideration in connection with the nomi-
nation. He announced in unequivocal
terms that he was not a candidate, and
suggested that some other leader, who could
command the united support of the whole
party, be selected as the standard-bearer in
1883. Colonel Dorsheimer stated that he
at once protested against any public use cf
such a letter as proposed. He told the
President there was no need for him to
adopt this step now, whatever might prove
to be wise hereafter. He urged the Presi-
dent to abandon the idea for the present.
at any rate, and finally induced him to
yield to his persuasions.

THE CLEVELAND MURDER.
Inquiry Into the Mystery Surrounding the
Death of Maggie Mccarthy,

Inquiry Into the Mystery Surrounding the
Death of Maggie Mccarthy.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 25.-Inquiry into
the mystery which surrounds the death OF
Maggie Mccarthy, who was murdered in
G. d. Hatch's yard on Sibley street Satur-
day night, was begun to-day by Prosecut.
ing Attorney Hadden and Coroner West.
A handful of earth aud a clot of the un-
fortunate girls blood was taken from Mr..
Hatch's yard where the deed was commit
ted. Maggie's pocketbook contained! AZ
cents. key, piece of candy and bit Of
ribbon, and her gloves, handkerchief and
clothing were produced at the examina-
ton.
DR.. r. A. Vance, who made post NOR
tenn examination of the body of the dead
girl, testified that IN his opinion death was
caused by strangulation and that she had
been outraged before OF. at the time of
death,
Rev. William Smith, assistant pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, said that
Maggie came TO him last June highly
recommended. She was a most conscien-
tious girl, faithful servant, shrinking
and timld by nature. She was not accus-
toned to going out much evenings, and
when she did she was usually back by
10:30 o'clock, and when out generally went
to her aunt's, Mrs. Clarke, on Oregon
street. Maggie left Prospect street car
Saturday night at 1850 o'clock at the cor
ner of Case avenue, two blocks from her
home. At midnight she was found under
a porch in a yard back of her employers s
residence. She was probably dragged into
the yard, strangled, Tavished and then
poked under the porch. No clew to the
murder has yet been secured by the police.

HE DOES NOT WANT 1T.
Hon. Smith NJ. Weed Reiterates the state.

ment that Mr.. Cleveland Will not Run.
New York SpeciaLI
Several weeks ago Hon. Smith M. Weed,
the Democratic sage of Plattsburg, told
reporter that President CleYeland would
not accept a denomination for the presi-
dency. Yesterday Mr.. Weed reiterated
his statements and indorsed fully the dis
patches published in the ST. Louis Repub.
lican in which the President says he will
not again be a candidate for that high
office. Mr.. Weed has unusual sources of
information. He is on intimate terms with
the President. He has never sought Of
fee, and in the inner circles of politics it is
known that Mr.. Weed was offered but de-
clined to accept the Secretaryship of the
Treasury. He is one of the few men whom
the President asks to visit him to consult
upon the policy OF the administration,
and he is often honored with personal let
ters from Mr.. Cleveland. These facts are
well known to most people, and are stated
here only for the purwose of showing that
Mr.. Weed has some authority for making
the important statement which follows.
He was asked:
"Have you read the Washington dispatch
to the st. Louis Republican copied in our
morning papers, which says the President
has informed Senator that he will not
run again; that he is in earnest, and his
wife knows he does not wish to be can
didateP
'.Yes. The dispatch also states that the
President said he longed to be free from
the confinement and ardUous duties of the
Office. What have to say about it? Well,
this only corroborates what / said in an
interview some months ago. The Presi-
dent said pretty much the same thing to
me. He declared that ne did not wish to
run for the presidency again, and l have
no reason to doubt that he means every
word of it. Why, he works nearly nine
teen hours a day. so the strain must be
very great. If / were the President L would
do little clerical work. He writes a beau
tifUl letter, an accomplishment that few
statesmen excel i'm
"If Mr.. Cleveland refuses to be candi-
date whom will the Democrats put up?"
"If the President absolutely refuses to
run Governor Hill will be the Democratic
candidate. / think he would carry New
York State by over 10000 against Sherman
or Blaine"
Another intimate friend of President
Cleveland told a reporter that the Presi-
dent was tired of the harassment of office.
He has little or no time to himself. He
has a desire to enjoy domestic peace and
quiet. He is as deeply in love with his
charming wife as lad of twenty could be
with his chum's beautiful sister, and he is
eager to be free to give her more time and
attention. Mr.. Weed undoubtedly has
good authority for saying that Hill will be
the standard-bearer of his party in 1888,
and President Cleveland and his admins
tration will support Hill heartily.

EMIN BEY RELIEF EXPEDITION.
MIR. Stanley StIn Confident of the Success

BRussELs, April 25.-Advices from the

Bey have been received from Matilda, on
the Congo River, dated March %. From
these it is learned that the steamer Maruda,
which carried Stanley from Zanzibar, was
unable to ascend the Congo 10 Matilda.
The. expedition landed at Banana Point
and re-embarked on March IS aboard
vessels belonging to the International As
sociation, which were awaiting the expe-
dition. Next day the expedition anchored
at Bona, the seat of the general admins
tration of the Congo free state. Mr.. Stan
ley was confident of the success of his en-
terprise, and hoped that by June he would
be able to render effectual assist
ance to Emin Bey. The Congo Asso-
ci&ion had arranged to victual
the expedition from Matido to Leo.
hoped to march rapidly and to surprise the
enemies hedging Emin Bey. The expedi-
tiOn left Bona on March p, and arrived at
Matilda on the 22d and there dlsembarked,
the river being unnavigable thence to the
Leopoldville, on account of Livingston
Falls. The expedition was to proceed on
foot for eighteen days along the falls and
expected to reach Leopoldville on April
is, where Mr.. Stanley was to be met by
farmers belonging to the Congo State. The
English and French mission stations of the
Upper Congo have also been requested to
place their two steamers at his service. The
alliance with Tippoo Tab and the appoint
ment of him to the Governorship of STAN
ley Falls is regarded by the expedition as
a master-stroke by Mr.. Stanley as he will
be able to use Tippoo Tabs great influence
TO protect the expedition after il leaves the
Congo States stations.

in connection with the institution from
which it takes its name, is principally the
result of the unanimous expressions of
approval of its production of a number of
comedies, dramas and musical sketches by
the most prominent writers OF the time.
The injury TO the business Of travelling
combinations threatened by the pro-
visions of the interstate commerce
law was also instrumental in caus-
ing Samuel Kayser, the conservatory di-
rector, to accept the opportunity offered by
Manager McVicker to establish his stock
company system at once in a weeks en-
gagement at the latter's theater. The ex-
cellent dramatic work already performed
by members of the company has stimulated
local pride in the institution to the extent
which is illustrated by the large attendance
tonight and the open support and indorse-
ment of the foremost promoters of artistic
movements in Chicago, notably that of
Ferd w. PECK and William Penn Nixon.
The bill for this evening, Ga Dress Re-
hearsal' by George r. Sims and Louis Diehl,
